Please tell me this isn't positive...

[Mummyoftwokids]

I have 2 children already. I've recently started a relationship with a new partner (6 months) but I've known him for years.

Anyway, this result is after an hour - not after the recommended 5 mins. So it could be wrong. I vaguely remember this happening before though when I was pregnant but I'm really not sure.

My period is 9 days late :/

This week I had a tummy bug (or so I thought), I had the runs for 2 days. I've been getting hot flushes & night sweats but my anti depressants can cause these too.

It was only yesterday I thought I feel really emotional / got mad at bf over silly thing and I thought it's probably period nearly due. Checked my Fitbit as I add my bleeds / spotting on there and then realised I was late.

Shopping on Saturday and I can to stop a few times to complain about a sore lower back (could be a sign period is imminent too).

I thought I felt sick BUT I think that's the anxiety over all of this rather than pregnancy.

Boobs are the same. No unusual discharge (my first sign with other 2). I just don't know. I think my mind is tricking me I'm so confused. But I am late

It's totally unreliable after an hour.

I agree.. although it would be impossible for that band to have colour if HCG wasn't present. No matter how many hours had passed, if it wasn't positive it would remain grey not coloured.

I guess there's a chance it's not coloured and it's grey.. but I'm not so sure

Regardless, you haven't planned it, you say you aren't enthusiastic. So you have options either way.

I think we differ in our view of those "options".

IF I am, I'll get on with it. No offence to anyone who chooses not to, but I'll love and raise any baby I've helped create.. I just would have liked a few more years.. a lot has happened this year with bereavement etc. Just wasn't on the horizon

Your body. Your choice. You stared the thread and suggested your preference was not to be pregnant. But entirely your decision.

No idea why you " " optons. You and all women ( here) have them. Up to is ehat we decide. Wishing you all the best.

Sorry. Should read.
Started the thread.
And Up to us what we decide.

No idea what the attitude is about but all the best.

Good luck whether you're pregnant or not OP. These things happen but you'll be fine!

Has the post man been?

@mummyoftwokids
When I was on cerazette it eventually stopped my periods completely so hopefully this is the case for you. I don’t remember ever having hot flushes or anything but I would say that everyone experiences different symptoms with hormones. When I came off the pill and my periods returned I had horrendous hot flushes around the time of my period so maybe you’re just getting symptoms without the bleeding. I hope it ends up being the outcome that you wish for.

Post comes around 10:30am and I had to pee already lol. I'll still do it when it arrives. As others have said it would be a clearer result with how late af so it should be obvious and if not, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Thanks, you could be right and it's just stopped my periods but continue to have symptoms :)

Username90 I'm on 100mg of sertraline for anxiety, a common side effect is night sweats, it's not nice at all.

Just wanted to say good luck. I agree that the line should be darker at this stage and it's probably just an evap and the pill messing with your cycle.

Good luck either way 😊

10 years ago I met someone and within 2 weeks was pregnant. It wasn't planned... It wasn't expected... Turned out he was a horrible person and I now have a 9 year old beautiful son that is the love of my life. It doesnt matter whether it's planned or not, you love them with all your heart regardless.... Mistakes happen, and you get on with life. I get what your saying... That it's just not the right time. But if your pregnant and you didn't want to be then you should of took extra precautions to avoid it. But that's life isn't it. Just remember there's alot of women on here desperately trying to get pregnant and finding it difficult. I think someone popping up with a bfp saying they don't want it can be hurtful to all of us who desperately do want it x

Donnawoo, all posters are entitled to support. There is no threshold and there is no competition. No woman should have to carry on a pregnancy she does not want and she certainly should not be criticised or blamed.

You can't have support top trumps on Mumsnet. There's space for everybody.

All the very best op xxx

It could be a chemical pregnancy, which would explain the faint line. If it is and you had taken a test 9 days ago it would have been darker.

No I completely understand. I was in the same situation. I wasn't having a go at her I was explaining why maybe a couple of the replies she's had are a bit snappy 😊 if someone gets pregnant and doesn't feel it's right then that is absolutely that person's choice and no one can tell them how they should feel. I'm honestly not trying to be critical or anything. Sorry if it sounded like that x

That's not the ops responsibility at all. Everyone is different and everyone is entitled to support for their own situation.

Op my relative had a line like that after about 20 minutes on a test, turned out to be a negative thankfully for her. Hope it all works out for you

Her thread is titled please tell me this isn't positive.... And in a board full of women trying to get pregnant, it will always provoke a reaction. Which is exactly what has happened. Nobody's having a go at her for not wanting to be pregnant. People are giving their opinions on the situation and that's all. All I was trying to say is if you make a thread basically saying omg please don't be pregnant, I don't want to be pregnant your gonna get a reaction. I didn't personally say i had a problem with it.

And in a board full of women trying to get pregnant, it will always provoke a reaction.

If you're mature enough to try for a baby, then you should be mature enough to respect others situations without passing comments. The OP asked if there was a line or not. She didn't ask for comments on her situation. If she does test positive, then she can think about what to do from there.

Well this thread has kicked off.. sorry to any TTCers who were offended by my post.

I posted in the conception section, not the trying to conceive section. I've been a TTCer too, can't say anyone else's posts annoyed me in that way at the time but that's just me.

We're all in different situations and stages in life.

To the person who said to take extra precautions, that's a little judgemental. The pill is 99.9% safe and pull out method just as an extra precaution. It's not like I'm inexperienced and couldn't stop myself from having unprotected sex in any way.

Starting to feel like I'm having to justify myself now 😒 all I wanted was your opinions on the line because I saw a line and I didn't know what to make of it. I'll update when the post arrives. I don't feel pregnant like I have before so hopefully I'm in the clear.

Also, just to put some perspective on this. When I was 7 months pregnant with my last child, I had severe anxiety. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I had to keep the radio on all night to drown out my thoughts. The only place I could sleep was in the car so hubby would take me out for a few hours a day so I'd drift off. Constant panic attacks and the doctor couldn't give me anything. She just told me to breathe through them. I still have anxiety to this day but no where near like that. I felt I was losing my sanity 😒 so with this scare, it's starting to bring up memories and the "what if I am" and "will I be anxious again" I can't come off my tablets so I don't know what happens.

This is why I have a panicky title to my thread I guess. I also lost my dad this year, and my marriage broke down a month after. So I'm literally on the edge.

I just wanted to clarify that to me, it's a serious situation, it's not all oh am I or am I not. If I was, I'd get on with it. I have a fantastic family, 2 great kids already who would be an amazing help etc.

Don't explain yourself @Mummyoftwokids
Most us completely understand your reason for posting... there's always a couple of posters who have to find something to niggle about.

I hope you get the outcome you want! Good luck 💐
